Around the world, indigenous peoples are finally being recognized as the best protectors of their territories, after decades of their own international advocacy.
Despite this, asserting their rights has positioned the Achuar in opposition to powerful economic and political interests. First, the Achuar are fighting a legal battle to demand a title for their full ancestral territory, not just the current parcels surrounding each community. This would expand the area under their control and strengthen their position against oil, mining, or logging interests.
Success for the Achuar territorial claim would reshape the landscape in Peru, opening the way for other Amazonian indigenous peoples to secure titles for tens of millions of acres. Understanding the precedent-setting potential of the case, the Peruvian national government has deployed a team of the country’s top lawyers in an attempt to shut it down.
